The Creative Process

Because I have been desperately low on content this week, I thought, for fulfillment and mayhap a bit of irony, I'd talk to you people about what the creative process is like for this thing. Maybe it'll help you understand why I appreciate you lot so much.

6:40 AM: Woken up. Groan.
6:41-7:30 AM : Prepare for school, breakfast, shower, etc. Spark of creativity is not awake yet.
7:55 AM : Arrive at school. Talk to friends. Take note of things that inspire you for future use on blog.
8 something AM: 1st period ends. Forget everything you were going to write about. Repeat as needed, or until it's time to go home.
3:05 PM : Head home. Reflect on day, etc. Sort of recall things you were going to write about.
3:10 PM : Ride home. Be angry for forgetting what you were going to write.
3:30 PM : Arrive home. Forget about everything for an hour or two.
6:00 PM : Begin writing blog post. Become angry because whatever idea will not turn into content.
6:10 PM : Take break.
7:30 PM : See blog post open in tab you've forgotten about. Return to writing.
8: 00 PM : Post will still not come to life. Rage.
8:10 PM Give up/cop out and make shitty post about whatever.

Yeah, writing these isn't exactly easy. Coming up with content even on a flexible schedule like this really makes me respect comic writers.

Anyone who wishes to help should email me at cmdnA12@gmail.com (like most things, there is a story behind that username. Inquire if you're interested, bored, whatever.

Do me a favor and contribute. All these journal-type posts piss me off. I dislike them greatly.

How about when you have an idea about a post you write it down so that you can reference it at a later time.
